Home automation technology should simplify yor life, not complicate it. Technology should protect you, entertain you, keep you comfortable and give you more free time for the things that really matter. Some of today's homes are truly complex facilities. So how do you integrate all the different electronic equipment and systems throughout your house, and make them work for you, not against you?

Fortunately, Atlantic Smart Technologies has a simple solution: The Crestron Home.

Crestron Home makes home automation technology practical and easy to use, with seamless, harmonized integration of your whole-house audio and video, home theater, lighting, security, climate, communications, the Internet and more.

HOME THEATER
To get the most out of your Engineered Theater investment, you need more than a large screen picture and a pile of remotes. Instead, imagine tapping the "Start Movie" button on a touchpanel to automatically dim the lights, draw the drapes, and lower the screen and projector, while the move you've selected from the DVD jukebox starts to play. Using the same touchpanel, adjust the room temperature and zoom in to view and listen to your baby with the nursery camera for your peace of mind. Crestron and Atlantic Smart Technologies provide the total solution, including professional surround sound processors and amplifiers.

AUDIO/VIDEO DISTRIBUTION
Total Home Technology from Atlantic Smart Technologies and Crestron offers the world's best multi-zone distribution systems for whole-house audio and video. Producing the finest sound quality available, Crestron's professional audio distribution processors deliver audio from any source into as many as 32 separate rooms and areas throughout the home. Crestron's revolutionary video processors accept component, S-Video and NTSC/PAL composite video sources, including HDTV signals, and distribute them to display devices throughout the home. Only Crestron offers a range of intelligent professional amplifiers for a variety of applications and room configurations. Crestron intelligent amplifiers run over the control network, providing remote system and zone on/off capabilities, and reporting internal temperature for the protection of the entire audio system. To complete the system, one of Crestron's radio tuners provide access to preset favorite channels. Control of each room is easy using one of the many Crestron touchpanels or keypads.

Essential to any home, Crestron's family of lighting products include a variety of dimmer modules that allow dimming of incandescent, magnetic low voltage, and electronic low voltage for total flexibility in lighting design.

SECURITY
The ability to control and monitor security is one of the most fundamental requirements of any home today. Crestron Home technology provides peace of mind by allowing homeowners to monitor all surveillance cameras and motion detectors around their property. They also report any window or door left ajar, or arm/disarm an entire system at once - or zone by zone - all with a single command.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Every room in your home is a unique environment, with its own special temperature and ventilation needs. Maintain the ideal climate separately for the bedroom kitchen and garage. Even monitor the wine cellar, warm the spa, and ignite a romantic blaze in the fireplace. Crestron makes it possible, with high-quality thermostats and temperature sensor solutions.

THE STATE-OF-THE-ART CONNECTED HOME
Achieve a truly state-of-the-art home by harnessing the power of the Internet with Crestron e-Control®. Imagine quickly checking your e-mail or stock prices from the kitchen touchpanel, or receiving an instant message at your office computer if your security system is breached. Even when you're far away on business or vacation, e-Control lets you monitor and control any device in your home. Today's complex homes require sophisticated new technology, along with the power to control it. Yet it must be easy to use and fit beautifully into your décor. It's all about comfort, convenience, security and entertainment in every room of your home. Today, there's a simple, elegant solution to bring complete home automation to your lifestyle.
